WASHINGTON - The CIA's top weapons inspector in Iraq has ended his hunt for weapons of mass destruction.
Charles Duelfer posted his findings online in the form of an addendum to his October 2004 report that concluded former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, but wanted them.
"As matters now stand, the WMD investigation has gone as far as feasible," wrote Duelfer, head of the Iraq Survey Group. "After more than 18 months, the WMD investigation and debriefing of the WMD-related detainees has been exhausted."
FROM OCT. 6, 2004: Saddam wanted WMD, but had none
He concluded it was "unlikely that an official transfer" of weapons of mass destruction between Iraq and Syria occurred, but couldn't rule out shipments of "limited WMD-related materials."
U.S. President George W. Bush used the presence of weapons of mass destruction as a key argument for the invasion of Iraq.
Duelfer did warn that Saddam's weapons programs produced a number of Iraqi weapons specialists. While many will look for civil sector jobs, others could provide help to "hostile foreign governments, terrorists or insurgents."
As many as 1,000 weapons inspectors and translators formed the survey group in Iraq, which officially disbanded last month.
George BushLIED TO convinced the American people that there was WMD and enough good reason to go bash the crap outta Iraq again. I feel sorry for all those dead American soldiers, regardless they did not die for nothing, they were fighting for what they believed in (for the most part), freedom etc etc... But it's almost a shame nothing really was found... I think it detracts from Bush's credibility, but then again, I'm a Canadian reservist, not involved, and I never really liked Bush, or the USA's foriegn policy for that matter.
Just thought some people would like to see what the "Official" results are...
